China's Foreign Ministry addresses all parties involved in escalating tensions over the Korean Peninsula.

"All sides should do more to help ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula and not to take turns in showing strength," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang in a written statement.

Geng made the remark after the DPRK military announced that it is working on plans for a missile strike near the US Pacific territory of Guam and US President Donald Trump said that threats to the US from Pyongyang would be met with "fire and fury".
